Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

Nanfeng reached out and threw a Poké Ball towards the battlefield.

The Poké Ball opened, and Gardevoir, dressed in a white dress, gracefully landed.

"Nah~~".

128. Hypnosis Wins the Battle: The Secret Technique of Surfing

Using Gardevoir to battle Slaking was the trump card that Nanfeng had decided on before coming here.

Don't you get sleepy easily?

Then I'll let you sleep as much as you want!

"Gardedoll, use Hypnosis!" Nanfeng commanded.

Gardevoir drew circles in front of its chest with its hands, and invisible ripples immediately spread out.

"Please, King, use Throw!" Senri shouted hurriedly.

Normal-type Pokémon are not weak to Psychic-type Pokémon. Whether Hypnosis works or not depends on luck in the game, but in reality, it's a test of willpower.

A battle of wills against the King of Leave?

Hmm... Knowing his own dog's temper, Qianli had no hope for it.

The current scene is like a person who wants to sleep seeing a bed.

Moreover, Wang had just fought two consecutive battles and suffered some injuries, so he was both tired and sleepy.

I can't wait to go to sleep.

Now someone is next to me saying, "Go to sleep if you want to."

Faced with such temptation, could Wang resist?

Slaking's body obeyed its trainer's commands, throwing the rock slab at Gardevoir, but its mind had already fallen asleep. So much so that it didn't even aim, simply tossing it aimlessly before crashing flat to the ground.

"Hululu~~~"

The snoring began; it had fallen asleep.

Nanfeng smiled, and it worked!

Now it's time to attack.

"Gardevoir uses Moon..."

"I surrender"

Just as Nanfeng was about to command Gardevoir to use an attack move, Qianli immediately surrendered.

"this..."

“Once Slave King falls asleep, it won’t wake up even if you beat it until it loses its fighting ability, so we can just consider it defeated,” Senri explained.

south wind:.

If I had known it would be like this, why would I have let Blaziken and Greninja fight Slaking? I could have just let Gardevoir handle it.

It seems that Slaking and Snorlax are similar in personality.

The battle is over.

Nanfeng left the game and returned to his room.

The post-battle settlement dialogue appears on the handheld console, but this time it's slightly different.

[Defeat Slave King LV52, gain 7334 experience]

[Defeated Senri, the leader of the Petalburg City Gym, and won a prize of 23300.]

[Qianli: Well done, as expected of my son]

[Qianli: This "Libra Badge," the proof of defeating the Petalburg Gym, is now yours. With it, your Surf will be upgraded to the true Secret Surf.]

[Chiri: How was my Slaking's battle just now? Were you amazed? So, are you interested in training it?]

【whether】

Nanfeng's eyes lit up when he saw this message. So Qianli is planning to give me this Slave King?

Nanfeng quickly clicked "Yes".

[Qianli: Very good, as expected of my son. I had already prepared a lazy otter for you in advance.]

[Qianli: This is a guide to "Enduring" skill cooldowns and training Normal-type Pokémon, which I'm also sending to you. It includes my insights on training Slaking, so please take a good look!]

[Chiri: I look forward to seeing you at the Pokémon Championships in the future, and then we can have another match, father and son.]

It wasn't given directly to the "Slacking Off King," but rather to a lazy otter...

Nanfeng knew such a thing wouldn't happen. But it's alright, elves, you have to train them from a young age so they can truly fight in perfect harmony with you.

Because Nanfeng already had six Pokémon, Slako was directly transferred to the computer and could only be viewed after leaving the gym.

Looking at the girl in the white dress on the screen, Nanfeng tried to go up and talk to her.

[Ami: If you come to the Johto region, remember to look for me!]

There are no other languages.

It seems this part of the story has ended; I'll have to wait until I reach the Johto region to find her to trigger the next part. (bhah)

Upon arriving outside the Petalburg Gym, the player is immediately stopped by the fully charged father, who expresses his gratitude and then gives the player a Surf skill cooldown.

It's already a secret surfing technique.

As he walked toward the Pokémon Center, Nanfeng checked the changes as his Surf skill was upgraded to HM Surf.

Secret Technique: Surf: Power 120, also binds the target to a whirlpool. (The Pokémon must first master Whirlpool to trigger the additional effect.)

Its power has increased by 30, and it also has an additional negative status effect of being trapped in the vortex.

The increase is quite remarkable. It's in no way inferior to other secret techniques.

Nanfeng opened the learning panel and prepared to teach Greninja the skills.

But then I suddenly discovered that not only Greninja, but also Mighty King, Tyranitar, and Garchomp can learn it.

It seems a bit far-fetched, but Nanfeng remembers that when Aggron evolves into Aggron and Axew evolves into Haxorus, they can also learn to surf.

Furthermore, in addition to Haxorus, these Pokémon can also learn Whirlpool.

"There should be teachers in schools who can teach tidal vortex skills," Nanfeng pondered.

I don't have the cooldown on Tide Whirlwind's skill.

Furthermore, based on my recollection, only the Sword and Shield version has the Whirlwind skill cooldown, or perhaps the Johto region has the HM4 TM Whirlwind. I wonder if, if I could go to the Johto region, I'd be able to upgrade the skill with badges, like in the Hoenn region...

Before he could travel to other regions, Nanfeng wanted his elves to master the Tide Whirlwind, so he had to ask the teachers at the school for help.

This isn't a big problem, after all, Qiantang University is a well-known cradle for training water-type trainers.

Tide Whirlwind is a fairly basic Water-type move, and it's easy to learn. However, you'll need to prepare some Water-type Pokémon for them first.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Nanfeng turned on his computer, took out the Slakoth that Qianli had given him, and checked its stats.

[Lazy Otter (Normal)]

【Level: 5】

【Trait: Sloth (Can only activate one move every 2 turns)】

Individual Values: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Defense (31), Speed ​​(31)

[Skills: Yawning, Slacking off]

【Item to bring: Oranges】

6V.

Nanfeng said, "Just as I expected."

Slaking is the representative Pokémon of the Thousand Miles. Since it was prepared for his son, it must be the best of the Slaking Pokémon.

Moreover, the Orange Blossom Forest is right next door, an excellent habitat for sloth otters.

Nanfeng vaguely remembered that there was a scene in the anime called "Lazy Otter Banana Paradise." In addition to growing bananas, it also kept countless lazy otters.

It might just become an industry spanning thousands of miles.

129. A grueling job spanning a thousand miles!

Open up a thousand miles of cultivation experience.

Nanfeng had put down the handheld console and was leaning against the bed, examining it carefully.

The opening chapter is about the training experience of the Slave King.

Starting with the lazy otter, then moving to the overactive ape, and finally taking leave.

Each stage contains a substantial amount of training content. In the entire training guide, the training content for the Slaking lineage takes up nearly four-fifths, with the remaining one-fifth dedicated to Swellow and Kangaskhan.

It seems that Senri truly has a deep love for Slaking. Nanfeng suspects that no one in the world has studied Slaking more than him.

Nanfeng picked up a pen and began to review the document while taking notes. He wanted to know why Qianli's "Leave King" was so terrifying!

The lazy otter stage.

Do not train Slakoth with any moves or allow it to battle at any level. Let it grow slowly and naturally. (Note: The Slakoth stage will greatly affect the Slaking stage. The stronger the Slakoth's Sloth ability is during the Slakoth stage, the weaker the Sloth ability will be during the Slaking stage.)

"Such a thing exists?" Nanfeng exclaimed as he took notes.

Such a specific conclusion must have been reached after countless attempts to cultivate fake kings.

It's important to understand that there are no learning devices in either reality or anime. The Sloth is also a Pokémon that doesn't like to move around much, making leveling up even more difficult.

As far as Nanfeng knows, there are very few trainers who actually breed Sloth in reality; most are discouraged by Sloth's lazy nature. However, if you can breed a Sloth to be an Apexis, it can basically evolve into Slaking.

If you don't let the lazy otter fight or train, then raising it yourself seems like you don't have to do anything; you just need to feed it some good food every day.

That's very convenient.

Hyperactive ape stage.

The most important stage for the "Leave King" group. In this stage, the lazy trait transforms into the "drive" trait.

Hyperactive apes become extremely active and have inexhaustible energy.

This period is the best time for move training. (Note: During the Overactive Slaking stage, let it learn and train as many moves as possible, because it becomes very difficult to learn moves after the Overactive Slaking stage. Below are some recommendations for learning moves...)

Nanfeng completely agreed. It was already difficult enough to get the Slave King to fight a single battle, let alone learn and train its moves. Dream on.

In other words, it means you have to choose the right moves for Slaking during the Hyperactive Ape stage.

If the Slaking doesn't learn the key moves during the Hyperactive Ape stage, then it's basically useless.

As Nanfeng continued reading, his eyes gradually lit up. Among the recommended moves, he found Qianli's deadly technique!

This is why Kangaskhan and Slaking have such incredible destructive power.

This destructive power comes from a secret technique that Nanfeng has long possessed: "Super Strength"!

The essence of superhuman strength techniques is a power generation skill that can maximize the power in one's muscles and burst out to attack the opponent instantly.

Qianli uses the Mighty move as a foundation, allowing Pokémon to use other contact moves by leveraging the power generation techniques of Mighty.

This amplifies the power of the moves used to a certain extent.

Super strength + contact-type moves?

This reminded Nanfeng of the "contact-type moves + force exertion" combination technique he had learned from Tengshu.

Generating force is also a technique for generating power.

However, if one can truly use superhuman strength to unleash other techniques simultaneously, then Nanfeng can somewhat understand why Slacker's punch can penetrate several rooms single-handedly.

With a Strength of 80 and a True Qi Fist of 150, the combined power of 230 surpasses Self-Destruction and is second only to the Great Self-Destruction. Of course, the actual calculations should not show this. However, given Slaking's already terrifying strength, it's reasonable to assume that Slaking's punch from Senri's location exceeds the power of Self-Destruction.

Even such a terrifying combination of moves is not without its flaws.

Each strike will consume several times the stamina of normal.

For example, using a single move like Super Strength will consume 1 stamina point, while using a single move like True Qi Fist will consume 2 stamina points. However, using the combination of Super Strength and True Qi Fist will consume 6, or even 9 or 12 stamina points. This depends on the proficiency of the two moves and the combination.
